Get ready for the Premier League
England’s best soccer (and possibly the best soccer in the world) starts again tomorrow, as the Premier League’s 2012-2013 season kicks off. Personally, I’m still in the “learning all the players’ names” phase of fandom — after growing up playing and watching soccer, I stopped for a while before just getting into it again last year — but no matter how much (or little) you care, there’s a lot to know as the season gets kicked off.
Before the season gets started, get caught up with the league, its teams and players, and what happened this year. Then get yourself up bright and early tomorrow morning and watch as the big season kicks off.
